<p><i>RE-Verse </i>asks; Why and How should we read poetry?</p><p>This book, aimed at people just starting with literature, takes nothing for granted but opens poetry up to all in a way that makes it both exciting and fresh. Examples are taken from a balanced combination of traditional writers such as Keats, Wordsworth, Blake and Shakespeare, and modern poets such as Seamus Heaney, Jackie Kay and Benjamin Zephaniah. </p><p><em>RE: Verse</em>is written in the belief that poetry is essential and challenging, and the conviction that by immersing ourselves in its undoubted complexities, it can become an essential part of the way in which we live in the world.
